Happy Birthday Sarah!


Happy Birthday, this is your present, as soon as I can get it to you ... but it may just go to Olympia tomorrow afternoon first, if I can get the time off work (what a Bad Sister you have!)


This is a detail of the front, so you can see all the lovely yarns that went into making it, but for the rest of the knitters out there, I used:
2.5 balls Patons ZigZag
1 ball Sirdar Denim DK
1.5 balls Gedifra Soffice
2 balls Gedifra Fiocco Oro
1 and a bit balls (or so) of two different cotton yarns (both are approx DK in weight, bought in Lidl last summer) - from stash
0.5 ball Twilleys goldfingering
Overall length of the combined yarns was 120 - 130 metres


Here's a detail of the back, showing the holding chain-stitches (in the Sirdar Denim)- this is just a technical detail and nothing for you to concern yourself with ...


... and finally, the latest Steek Boa in all it's glory, as modelled by your 'sweet' little niece Emily (aka Lizard Lady)

If I promise to be really, really good, can I be your sister, and get presents like that? Such a clever design, your boa.
